BERLIN, Sept. 17.-Count Kalnoky will
leave FREDERICKSBURG tomorrow. After
stopping few hours in Berlin, he will pro
coed to Dresden on Monday and on Tuesday
will return to Vienna. Although his con-
ference with Prince Bismarck is recur-
renee of the annual meeting agreed upon
some years ago, the significance Of his pres
ent visit is heightened by his recent diplo-
matte oscillations. While Prince Bismarck
was at Kissinger the Austrian Government
had reason to fear that his desire to renew
cordial relations with Russia would carry
him too far and imepril the Central European
alliance Whatever Prince Bismarck IS
motive was it is certain that he played with
Count Schouvaloff, the Russian am
into the belief that Germany would back
Russia's policy toward Bulgaria, to the
limit of offending Austria.
COOLER THAN EVER
Since the developments of the Bismarckan
policy have undeceived the Gar the rela-
tions between Germany and Russia have
been colder than ever. Prince Bismarck's
refusal to mediate or intervene in any way
in the Bulgarian question was the climax of
Russia's disappointment, while it convinced
Austria that she could rely on the perma-
nent strength of the alliance with Germany.
Count Kalnoky's presence at Friedrichs-
ruhe, in connection with the Cars avoid
ance of meeting with the Emperor, sets a seal
upon the alliance, while at the same time
promising a more vigorous common policy
on the part of Austria and Germany, The
interview between Prince Bismarck and
Count Kalnoky means a new phase of the
Bulgarian question. 1t means a check on
Russian Intervention, neutrality of Europe
toward Prince Ferdinand, leaving him to
his own resources to sink or swim, and free
dom of action for Bulgarlans, short of
anarchy or troubling the peace of neigh
boring States.
WEIGHTIER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
The Fremdeublatt, in suggestive semi
official article, hints at an exchange of
views on greater matters than the Bull
garian question. 1t says the alliance must
display it's force by exerting decisive in
fluence at critical moments to maintain the
peace of Europe and thus form bulwark
against the flaming up of passions which
might prove the ruin of nations,

Another subject discussed at the interview
was the renewal of the Austro-German COM
mercial treaty, which promises to be soon
settled. Hitherto all negotiations on that
subject have come to naught

The Emperor's sojouru in Stettin was an

FRANCES HoT-HEADED ORATORS.
The speeches made by Gen. Breart and
Deputy Gale at the military banquet at
Tolouse have provoked keener criticism
than those first made upon the results of the
French mobilization. Criticisms are less
favorable to the French troops.
The Kreuz Zeitlu1g maintains that the
experiment did not prove that France is
ready for general mobilization of her
forces. 1t says that the attempt of the
French press to convince the country that
the army is in perfect state of preparation
is all the more grotesque, seeing that
France has not for years past been SO
incapable to face war with Germany. The
formation of eighteen new regiments of in
fantry has confused the military arrange
ments to such an extent that a general
mobilization would produce chaos. The
National Zeitung holds that the mobiliza-
ton experiment has tended to mislead the
in1ammable imagination of the French.
The Toulouse speeches show that France is
not power desiring to act on the defensive.
but is centre of constant danger to peace.
